Black NFL players send Goodell a memo demanding racial justice!! NFL is 70% black

What someone should do is set up a gofundme to collect money to disburse to protesters during a nationwide boycott of all business in the country. First you build up donations and announce the timing and duration of the protest, leaving time for government to craft a solution to avoid said boycott of course, and then use the money to help your protesters pay their bills and not destroy their own lives trying to affect change.

That would be a reasonable approach to using a boycott to get the government to change. You have to kill the tax revenue before you can scare the government. They don't fear the people, they fear running out of money.

I am proud of the country. we have problems but we address them -we self correct.
Governments come and go - the USA is worth standing for; warts and all

But that's not true. They do not address the problem of the courts letting police off the hook when they needlessly and recklessly kill citizens. That's the whole point of the protest.

 

[Text Drivers are Killers]

I thought the boycott was about police killing minority people and the anthem was the target because they were protesting the systemic problem and wanted to disrupt the business as usual aspect of honoring the country to protest the failure of said system.
Now you tell me it's about a washed up quarterback? I gotta pay more attention!

What it's really about is blacks want more welfare and affirmative action.

BS BS BS. None of these blacks care about blacks being killed. If they did they'd protest all the blacks killed by other blacks. About a thousand of those for every black killed by a cop.

Fact is blacks are super-racist in that they hate white people and that's what this is all about. That and getting the white man to give them more free stuff.

He was protesting his own blacklisting!

Why would the NFL be singled out for the issues w/respect to rogue cops? It's more of a statement about the owners black listing Kaepernick. Now...each owner has weighed the backlash from their fan base, so it isn't necessarily their own personal opinion of Kaepernick's actions.

I think any proposed boycott is aimed at letting owners know that they might want to rethink the extent of the blowback no matter which avenue they tend to explore.

They will never be satisfied. Goodell is letting to many whities in. They want a 100% black league. This is their right, because, you know, slavery. Duh!

 

[Irish]

Yeah lets make the NFL 13% black like equality dictates. Let some white boys make 20 million a year for playing a kid's game. This is so hilarious and hypocritical and all the fans can see it.

What are these injusitces Kaperdick is speaking of? He takes a knee, gives a vague answer about social injustice, but never directly answers what he's protesting.

Is he upset at the recent police shootings? Maybe it's because blacks commit a larger portion of crime. Why? 77% out of wedlock birthrates. No fathers, no family structure. Do you hear Kaperdick or any SJW-lib talk about the real causes of the problems?

Rather than blaming alleged racist whitey-cops?

 

[Teflon Don]

You're an idiot of you don't think the govt creates policies that are a direct reflection of the way our country is perceived across the world. Oh....wait.

That has nothing to do with the anthem which was your point. Feel free to move the goalpost however, we are after all talking about football

Wrong. The real reason for black failure throughout the world is that blacks are mentally inferior. The evidence is overwhelming.

 

[TTQ64]

Kapernick is right.

Racist white men control the NFL and LE. That's why he's not playing now.

They are teaching his ass a lesson for speaking out against their racism.

This is par for the course.

there has to be convincing proof.
If you are sying some police homicides are unjust, and not prosecuted -well that happens with any crime.
If you are saying there is systematic non-prosecution, I disagree

 

[blackascoal]

BS. Blacks can play on a cell phone but literacy means being able to read a newspaper as fast as you talk. You and most other blacks can't do that. That 68 IQ is a killer.

You're more intelligent than I am. I can't read or write?

You are a moron. A racist piece of shit moron with a miserable fucking life that you demonstrate on this board every single day.

But it's all good because besides being a moron, you're also powerless. Just a moron with a keyboard. Too dumb to matter.

Your fear of everything you cannot control is indicative of the pain in all you racist morons. :0) I love it.

Here's something else you cannot control Jethro .. the browning of America. Nothing you can do about that either.

Don't like black people? Who gives a fuck?

Don't think I can read or write? Who gives a fuck about what a racist blip on my screen thinks about?

Don't like black athletes and real sports .. the WWE awaits you.

All you have to offer are the wailings of a shrinking dying breed of racist morons. :0)

Demonstrate the courage of your convictions and walk right up to a black football player and tell him how dumb you think he is. I'll read about you.

 

[blackascoal]

Huh? Apologize for what? I was citing the reuters article to reference the conventional wisdom that the NFL is the sport white males watch, and that my purpose for this was in reference to the deplorable ratio hyperbole I wrote above.

It was part of my argument that the NFL will lose some income from racists

I apologized for misinterpreting what you said.

I'll admit to being hypocritical on this issue in that I am generally against corporate welfare but have been ok with public subsidies for stadiums as I'm a sports fan and would rather money go to that than the arts or other things it would get spent on.

But the growth in the value of these teams has largely been based on the publicly funded stadiums. Leagues, especially the NFL, will play cities off each other to get more public subsidies. So I'm changed my tune on this. The SF Giants showed a privately funded stadium can be built and create value in a neighborhood.

There have been many studies done showing the proposed benefits of the public funding don't materialize.

I know all the arguments against public stadium building .. and I agree with many of them. But I also agree with electoral processes.

Nothing about building the Atlanta stadium was done in the dark. It first had to get through state oversight, then after state approval, was pushed through by Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed who faced re-election 9 months later. Needless to say, Reed was re-elected.

What Is your suggestion? That I argue against what has already been done, publicly approved by taxpayers and out of my control?

Welfare donates that you give resources expecting nothing in return. This is not that. Much is expected.

Your argument is against what the taxpayers of Atlanta have already approved.

I'm speaking about the economics of publicly funded stadiums. Cities/states can chose to spending their tax money as they see fit. The economics of it are not good for the City.

what a fucking bullshit copout

bottom line is that the majority of stadiums don't produce the supposed benefits

Shit Seattle is still paying for the fucking Kingdome and it has been torn down. Some economic benefit

 

[cawacko]

Oakland just went through this with the Raiders. No city loves a team more than Oakland does the raiders. Yet the city wasn't willing to give in to what mark Davis wanted. Now the team is off the Vegs.

Irrespective of what you think or how sound your arguments may or may not be, in the case of the Atlanta stadium, you are arguing against what the taxpayers of Atlanta have already decided.

Atlantans are loving it regardless of what you or I think.

Obviously there is some emotional / spiritual / community benefit to this that is not quantified in your analysis.
